It makes me, it feels so good, dude.

But if I have to get up again at 7.30 to take my kid to school, I'm like, oh, no. Like, I almost should have got up at 4.45 a.m. That's what he said. I know, but then I will be fucking exhausted by now. We started to work out. You could do your workout. No, not if you go work out. Yeah, you work out.

And then you get home, you have your dates and your oatmeal. And then, you know, you take your kid to school and now you're ready to go. No, no, no, you all know what's up. Join the early bird train. This guy goes to bed at 8. Join the early. I know. You know, I go to bed at 11.

Nothing to do. It's like. Yeah. Facts. I'm a baby. I go to bed of a laven. We got to get this kid out of our bed because we can't even sleep in the same room anymore because he's. Yeah.

He's so big too for a two year old. You're toast. And now he's doing this thing too where I'm like, okay. He's laying with his mom. All right. Because she's the one. Because like if I sleep in the bed, I wake up at four o'clock in the morning and she's gone. you know yeah yeah yeah you know so I'm like oh what happens that's what my saying you know so now

Yeah, they have to be like. Yeah, that, yeah.

So now I have to like, you know. I love that. It's hard because you're like, oh, my God. But the other night, he was like, you know, he was hollering. Because I said, no, sleep over there. You're fine, you know? Right. And then he's like, he's sitting up crying, you know?

And I'm like, oh, my God, we have to do something about this. But you know what? I always feel like this kind of stuff's going to work itself out. He's not going to be in our bed when he's 15. So, you know what I mean? He's 35. You know what I mean? I never know.

You know, but it's just like it is like, you know, it's a thing. Yeah, no, it's always, it's always going to be something. But he's sick right now, which is another thing. What are you boys going to do for the summer? Little brats and what were we doing for the summer, boys? No, summer. Working and also just kind of, oh, I'm going to be a problem. I'm going to be a problem.

Why? Well, I just, I keep working out and I'm going to get crazy tan and I'm going to get more tattoos. It's going to be a problem. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a problem. That's the summer plan? So what are you, a 22-year-old college girl? What's that?

Yeah. This guy's a 22-year-old. Yeah, he's like a 22-year-old college girl. I'm going to get a 10 and I'm going to get some tattoos. When I go, okay, that's fine. Joke around all you want when I walk in a room. Because I'm going to get a bunch of tattoos. I'm going to vape a little bit.

I'll get out there on the lake, vape a little bit. Dude, joke all you want. Probably drink some monsters. Joke all you want. This is totally, I know what you did last summer. Joke all you want. Get the laughs out. Go ahead.

Get the laugh out. Because when I walk into a room, that atmosphere. is going to change. And that's just like, that's just, that's just, that's just at a minimum. First of all, you don't tan. Well, no, I will though. Yeah, that's not for you. No, I, I, you don't, you know there's a peptide you can take. I, I tan about six out of 10. I, I tan fine. No, I don't, no. Do you're all material. No, no, I tan a six out of ten. No, no, I tan a six out of ten. No, you turn into a strawberry. No, you know, you know, you know there's a peptide, Chris. I don't care.

You can take a peptide and turn chocolate face. I don't want... You take a peptide in straight up black body. I think I'll probably take something for recovery on muscle growth. I'm trying to help you out. We'll just throw the chocolate stuff in. You know? Like you go to like the ice cream shot.

Once a week. The peptide is the ice cream shop and you go like, yeah, can I have a little chocolate face? And then they come over and they be like, oh. Yeah, give me a little abs. Change my name to Chris O'Delia. Hey, it's... Chris O'Delaire. Oh, my God.

Dude, he's 6-2 and he's fucking... He's chocolate! Are you kidding me? Oh, fuck, dude. You don't want to be in Pete's coffee when he walks in. You don't want to be in Pete's coffee. Is that where you going now? I'm just, you know, I often say coffee being in tea leaf and I did it.

I wanted to change it to make it a little bit more surprising and maybe get a little bit of a laugh. But it's fine. Coffee being in T-leaf, too. Wherever I'm going, Chris Oedelia. It's going to be fucking changing the atmosphere, dude. And my hairspray. And my hairspray. Because I'm changing the ozone.

Let me ask you something. Where you live in that area, where you live? Have you gone to like every single restaurant in that area? No, but all the coffee shops. Yeah. See, that's us in Santa Carita. Yeah. You know what I mean?

It's like, I realized I'm like, I just drive by how we went there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's how it is here. Yeah. That's how it's here.

Yeah. It's not big. Yeah. You know what I mean? You figure you go, ah. But that's when you have to, that's when you have to just, you know, get into the daily routine and love the daily routine, which is which I do. Facts. And what I like out here is I go to Summer Moon.

I walk in and go, hey, Brendan, same thing. I go, I know, I like that. I like that. I like that. I like that. Summer Moon, that strip club is open what time? Hey, same thing, Brendan. Oh, they're all pregnant?

Actually, they're not pregnant. They're all like, they've had the kid and they're still breastfeeding. Yeah. Same thing, yeah, just the dick suck. Yeah, just the dick suck. Guy comes out. Brennan sucks his dick. No, no.

Okay, fuck it. Yeah, no. So, yeah, that's the routine, though. You got to get into the routine. You got to get your car. Because I go to a place. that is called 507 and it has the best cold brew

I think I've ever had so I'm I'm I'm, that's a huge win for me I think I agree with you on I never change no no that's what I think routine is good because actually I love my Tuesdays right right right right right

you know because I like if either I get here early yeah go to that coffee shop I'm like yeah it's nice and then I get my burrito and I'm like oh okay this is the yeah

you know what I are you guys like if I if I find a place I like I'm a lifer. I never try anything else. Yeah. I get the exact same thing every single time. Food. I find a restaurant.

I go there till it. Mine is mostly, I mostly, yes, I'm pretty much, yeah. I mean, I think we know that about each other.

But you get, he's not like that though. He'd be like, oh, what's this? He's Mr. Oh, what's this?

Here we go with this impression. He's Mr. What's this? Oh, oh, a new place. Oh, oh, there's a new waffles place? Yeah, bro.

Really? You want to get in? too? It's so fun. If there's a new waffle place. Oh, he's going. I mean, if a new waffle place opened up around,

I mean, I'm going to check it out. You know what? So funny you say that. We actually did go to a new breakfast spot the other day. Yeah, there you go. But it,

I didn't, it had too much of that. You know, so it was like, oh, I should have taken a picture. Oh, yeah. Because I got the eggs Benedict.

You know what I mean? And then, but then it was like crepes of waffles, French toast pancakes. And I just haven't been doing that. You know, so I'm like, cheesecake factory. Yeah, so I'm just saying,

right, right. But I love it. Yeah, I don't want to bookmark when I need to go through the menu. Just give me to, you know what I mean?

The seven things that you got. Well, do you always know what? That's alarming. Does Kristen order the same thing every time she goes someplace? Uh-uh. She's like,

No. You know what's funny? Because her and I are more alike. Yeah. Yeah. Because Rachel gets the same thing, no matter where we go. That's a girl. Atta girl.

It's two eggs. Yep. Bacon. I like it. You know, that's the thing. Side of avocado. You know, for American. Yeah.

American. Yeah. But for me, I'm just like, let me look at this menu. Let me see what. Oh, I hate that. What's on here? What's on here? You know what?

You know what I, you know what I, the thing about that is just, just doesn't click with me is even if they all have, I mean, every restaurant pretty much has the kind of same thing. Yeah. So that's, to me, I'm just like, the simple stuff. You don't have to look, really. You do have to look.

Why? Because you'll have a fucking Mollay sauce or something. Oh, yeah, I know. Or the Benedict. Nick's going to understand this. You're going to see, like, when you go to a restaurant, Nick, and then you see the Benedict list, I love that. Because then you're going to see,

oh, what kind of special Benedict's day? got going on here. Ooh, it's on top of a special potato? I never, I never. You know what gets me? You know what gets me? If it says like world famous or, you know, if it has a star next to it.

Like, you know, one of the originals that has a star or world famous. I'm like, we're all famous. Like you could go to India and be like, hey, you know Santa Clarita the fucking ex-Bedict? They'd be like, oh, I don't know what you're talking about. Santa Craterita. This one's not good, by the way.

I used to Uber drive there. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. Okay. So let's not do it anymore. Well, no, no, no, no. The idea of the bit is fine and I threw it out there and it's fine.

I understand it. It's not like it's got legs. I won't fucking run it into the ground like I usually do. But you get it. We're not going to go bonkers? No. I can never do an Indian. I could never do an Indian one.

Yeah, it's really too bad, you know? Yeah, but I don't like that. Anytime I see the way my mind works, I see World Famous and I immediately go to that too. What? I'm just like, you can't just put world famous. Yeah, yeah, but I always want to ask him, hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah. How come I never heard of this then? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I also. Is there a website? Yeah, yeah, they'd be, let's go. Pull them to a side. You don't want to be that guy, but, you know. I think world famous, to me, I look at world famous, I go, all right, and I already get, I want to get it out of spite and be like, okay, let's see. Huh.

Let's see you fuck up. So you want to go, you take it and you want to go, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. World famous, huh? What world? Was there a compromise? competition. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Was there like, who was in this? What world? Was this in my, in my, this city I created in Sims, Simsville? Because this is not on earth. Yeah, but I, I guess I don't, I don't mind. I'm telling you, if I go to a place and I get the same thing every time, I get bored quick. Yeah, I don't.

I will, though, after, after, I mean, after like a year, maybe. after a year. Well, I've been living there two years, so I'm already there. No, but there's some things like I like to try something. That's where I get messed up. It's just like Nick and their eggs bedded. I'm sure every place you go, you go, I got to try this.

Even if there's all this kind of stuff on the menu, you go, oh, but they sit, you know, I'm that way, because I used to be that way with like, I like to try things like meatloaf. I love meatloaf. You know, so I go to a restaurant and they go, oh, we have the such and such meatloaf. I'm like, ah.

Yeah. And I love a good dip, like a French dip or like a, I don't want to do shit myself. I don't want to do shit myself. No, there's just great Italian restaurant in a, Rachel loves this called Chi-Chees. They got this brosbeef sandwich. That's great. To go to an Italian restaurant to get a boresbiz sandwich is crazy.

Well, I was sick of the pizza and the pasta. We go there too much. Okay, okay. So I got this rose-booth sandwich with just really great dip in the sauce. But it was like. No, I mean, I don't, I don't, I don't like it. Like, we got sick one time from some pizza. there?

Not from there, but just in general, that I'm at, it was so bad, I don't eat pizza anymore. Yeah, I understand that. Wow. Yeah, it was something. There's not a place on earth that could get me to stop eating people.

No, the same, bro. I had to stop. Or you have to get just like, don't get the meat lovers. Well, that, but I wouldn't get that anyway, but yeah. Well, of course not. Of course not.

I get, I would just get, I just get pepperoni. Yeah, well, there you go. Cheese, though. Cheese is great. Like a goddamn human. But then you get to pepperoni, you got to get a paper towel, and you got to, you know. I was like, can you can it get put my, that's the good stuff? Can you put my grease on the side?

I'll add it myself. That's fine, but like. The margin of what you're helping it out. Well, you're eating the pizza. Yeah. Then again, you are talking to a guy who ate Taco Bell 25 hours ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We don't want to, yeah.

You were like a beached whale. Surrounded by Taco Bell debris. That doesn't count. I've recovered. Chris said I looked good last week. You did. Yeah, he did. He looks good. Taco Bell shrapnel just around. Like somebody went like this with a Taco Bell grenade. Get out, grenade!

With a good detail. I've been hit. That's, I don't know. I'm shitting out. Shiting out. The most disgusting war. That's the most disgusting war movie ever. Make that with the AI.

Definite an AI. move. It's like that cartoon where the food is fucking... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Cloudy with the Chants of Meatballs. Is that what it is? Yeah, there you go. He's got a kid. Yeah.

But, so Mike... Wait, can ask you guys something about that? What's the first movie you took Calvin to? Do you remember? Yeah, it was that... It was that super pets one with Kevin Hart and Count of Reeves doing the voices. Oh. Yeah, whatever that one is.

The movie's all right. Dwayne. Yeah. Kevin Hart. Yeah, it's fine. Yeah, I mean, Duane. Yeah, the Rock and Kevin Hart. And then the other guy is Keanu Reeves, I think, which it took me like half the movie to figure it out.

But anyway. He's like, isn't he like Batman in that? Yeah. Yeah. Wow, that's a big star-study cast. I took T to trolls. Great movie. That.

Remember trolls with Justin Timberlake? Oh, right, right, right, right, right. Well, that was. Gay. When was that? Hot second ago. Yeah, because that was... 2016.

Because T's 10. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. He was super young. He took him out two months. He's 10 years old. He's 26. I took Tee when we left the hospital.

We went to see trolls. I took T to see Black Mer or Black Box. Do I see? Black Mare's your first shit to see? Oh, my God. Well, we're already like, you know, this freaking dinosaur shit I'm so sick of. Could have been one of it.

the other trolling. Right, right, right. Also, Brendan has been known to just be completely fucking wrong. Oh, is he trolling? Is he trolling right now? But also, do your kids get locked into one movie and watch it? What is that about kids? What is that about kids? That they're just like, they'll just watch it over and over and over.

I'm like, I tell team boss, because they have a TV in the room at night. You know, we switch nights who gets to pick for an hour. and they'll be like they're super into jackass right now like dad jackass too I'm like you gotta pick something else it's been three weeks you have to pick something else

well how about this though Wilson did this dinosaur shit on YouTube yeah you know but he's like but this is him though he'll watch five minutes and then go like this not this one

oh right right right and then I have to change it to another dinosaur one but he goes like this I'm scrolling and he goes this one right same Billy You know, and then I play it, then I'm like, here's what I, hey, I get into it. Oh, that's funny.

You know, I'm like, oh, okay, this is going to be, not this one. I'm like, oh, my God. Don't you want to see how it ends? Yeah, don't you want to see? Oh, you know what the kids are into right now, and it's fucking good, man. It's up there with the original.

Predators Badland. Have you seen it? Predator Badland? The new movie? Yeah, that's pretty good. That shit slacks. Wait, hold on. It's fantastic.

Well, they're finally doing the movie. Yeah. They're doing their perspective. Oh, you let your kids see that? Yeah. Oh, my God, though. Yeah, bro. They're crushing it.

If my kids saw this, there would be no nighttime. We would just have to live awake. You know what, though? I mean, I think I actually think Wolf would be fine too because he's watching these dinosaurs that are attacking each other. So Wolf would be fine now. I know. A year or two?

I know. There's no way. Yeah. Did they start getting like... Oh, Boston Tiger don't give a fuck. I also grew up on Freddie Kruger. My mom let me watch fucking Elm Street when I was like, four. Well, that explains

a lot. Look at me. And the truth is you look great, you're killing it. But this... I got some issues. Yeah. But you know what, dude? So do I. We've all got issues. We've all got issues. But, oh, I shouldn't be from Freddie Kruger nightmares. No, I... Fuck, man. There is just... I do something... Now when I turn on trailers, because I

love horror movies, I turn on trailers and I'm watching I'm at night, you know, I'm either by myself or whatever, I'm like, man, I couldn't imagine. Imagine if Calvin saw a frame of this preview. I couldn't imagine. Well, I'm already like that because Rachel can't stand that kind of stuff. She's missed like, ooh, this is too. But this is crazy when you think about scary movies when you're a kid.

Because I remember going to see, like, I think I told you guys it, but I saw a double feature one time. It was the fog. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And phantasm scared the shit out of me. Okay. And then another one was, I remember with my babysitter neighbor, I went with her and holl her, some of that family. And we went to go see the omen.

That's crazy. Okay. And I was like under. And how old are you? I was young. Okay. I was young. And I just remember coming home.

I never forget this. I came home. And I was like, I just walked right over to my mom's room. I was like, yeah, scoot over, bitch. Oh, my God, dude. That's funny. I was like, yeah. So Damien is coming, so you need to

You need to scoot over I mean that's it This is a naughty You're not getting We're not negotiating this Move the fuck over Yeah hey move over The only time

The only time team boss got scared is we're watching I think it was What's the it series on HBO? Derry Derry or whatever's called Welcome to Dairy or something Derry Yeah

Yeah and they saw the clown But I didn't know they were watched They were in bed And they came down there like Like crouching behind the stairs. And then, yeah, that, that, that, that fucked them up. Well, that's terrible. The clown fucked him up.

I don't know what, okay, of the, of the genres of horror movies. This is terrible. Of the genres of horror movies, the one, the least one I like to watch, not because it does anything to me, just because I don't like watching it, is any gore. Yeah, same. Yeah, I just don't like gore. I don't care about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like a little, I like a little, but if it's all it is, if it, like, like, like, like, Hostel. Like, hostel doesn't scare me. Yeah. It's just, I'm like, all right, enough. Yeah, it's like, okay. Saw, hostile. I don't like that. Oh, I love. I love, no, I don't like that either. But like the conjuring, a house on the left. Yeah, demon shit. Demon shit's my shit. Demon shit. Demon shit's my shit. Demon goes. Like that house on the left.

So listen, listen. So demon shit to me during watching it is kind of scary. But at the end of the movie, I'm always like, oh, I literally, I'm like, oh, I literally, I'm like, Oh yeah, but that doesn't exist. So I get unscared. And yet you're lost. I do, but it doesn't fucking, it's not like I'm like, That's lost is that. Yeah, but it's not scary, bro.

But I'm saying at the end, you're like, this isn't real. I understand, but that's, but that is every movie at the end of the day. But, but when a movie is somewhat based in reality, that's when it can stick with me. That's when it can stick with me, fear, fear, a horror movie. But not, I remember, I remember. I remember in college, I saw Texas chainsaw. Yeah, like that. Like that's,

I moved with Jessica Beal. Yeah. And when it got out, I literally jogged them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, although I think the scariest I ever was was probably, probably Blair Witch, because remember when they were like, when the VHS came out? I know. When they said it was real.

And you're like, no, it's not. But you're like, yep. No, but it was like, I remember like, I remember people, so many people think it's real. That was the marketing. No, it was great.

I woke up to this blinding light and I was transported to another place. Pluto TV. Then I heard a voice.

Come with me if you want to live. There were thousands of movies and shows. And they were all free. The truth is our sin. It's just so beautiful. On Pluto TV, free streaming of Terminator 2, Fringe Arrow, the 100 N-EX files may cause excitement, loss of sleep, and sudden belief in extraterrestrials. No credit cards or alien encounters necessary.

Pluto TV, stream now, pay never. The one that's like, I forgot what the name of the movie is, but it's like they keep calling and they keep saying, go check the children. Oh, no, what's that? Oh, wait, yeah, what is that? Yeah, that's the kind of one that gets me. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Because the guy. Are you talking about home alone? Ha ha ha. Yeah, it's scary, dude. So easily could have been home alone. Joe Pesci. Hey, how, hey, how bad are those parents? Not only did they leave them behind once,

it happened the exact same fucking thing in episode two. When you got seven kids? They leave them again. You got seven kids? Some of them are teenagers. I'll tell you what. People don't talk about enough. Those are shitty parents.

I'll tell you this much, too. If I had seven kids, we're never going anywhere. We are staying at the house and being fucking nine of us. Think how rich the McAllisters are. I know. Think how rich they were to live in that house and they go on a trip to France with seven fucking kids. Back then it was like $60 a plane ticket. Oh, I'm about to say there's no way you can't even.

It's already a hassle just me, Rachel and Wolf to go on a trip. Dude, I have to go to Miami. I'm doing Miami in July and I'm like, I better, I should have booked this ticket into 2013. I know it's just going to be like four grand. to one way. What are you doing there? I am a spy.

No, no, no, I'm saying what club? Are you doing a club, a theater? What are you doing? I'm not at liberty to discuss. It is a, I've gotten my dossier. Things will be different afterwards on the East Coast, that's all. Because that might be a good one to do. Oh, I'm doing a...

Are you bringing the kid? You bringing... No, I doubt it. I'm doing... Because Rachel's grandma lives out there, and I was thinking... Spend $15,000. Fly the kids. Impro improv, yes.

It's a lot, man. It's just to travel, like, you know. I'm sorry. That's up. No, it's okay. It's fine. It's just, you know, maybe if we had a different producer, it wouldn't happen. No, it's fine.

It just, I hit it, and then it squeaks, and who cares, dude? You do. Can you keep messing with it? No, but, yeah, I, oh, oh, by the way, we, I, you started it too, but I started watching Widows Bay because I was like, let me check this fucking shit out. So the first three episodes are... The first three episodes are great. That guy's so weird.

The first few episodes are great. I didn't... It's interesting, right? Yeah, number four, number five, I didn't care for. I don't know if I'll finish it. Do you... Are you through it? Yeah, he's finished it.

No, man. I mean, I'm all caught up. I haven't finished it. They drop it every Wednesday. I'm not caught up either. Because I'm with you. The fourth and fifth episodes, I don't...

Here's the thing. I don't like... I don't like when they do the standalone episodes with one character. And it's like the fourth episode It's all about that the woman I'm like I just want to know what's going on And it doesn't move the plot line

It doesn't move the plot line How about when he stayed in the haunted In the haunted hotel And he's in the crawl space And that dude Oh bro The fucking clown That scared the fuck out of me

You know what was even scarier Is when he dipped down And it wouldn't show the rest of him And he's like just fucking I'm like bro show your face asshole Yes And then none of it Nobody was there

And they got on my camera like playing the board game by himself. That shit was lit. Well, they're doing those kind of episodes now. Probably they've always done them this way. It's because it's cheaper. Yeah, to save money. They do it to save money.

Yeah. You know, and it sucks. I know. I mean, the business is trash right now. I don't know if that's, yeah, maybe they are doing that because of that. But it's just, but that guy, I like that guy's funny in it. I like how it's a, it's a, that show. Yeah, he is funny.

The show is a little too funny for me, but I appreciate it. I just, they cast him. Me too, Chris. That's what, that's exactly. Like what I said, my, yeah, I was like, I like a little less funny, but yeah. Because- Get a little serious, bitch.

You're the fucking mayor. Like, what- The thing about that show is it's, it's cast like, besides him, it's cast like it's like an NBC show. It's like, I don't want to see, I don't want to see, Dwight Shrewt, like that other guy in it in the fucking, the assistant with your glasses. I don't want to see. He's Gil, yeah, he's Gilbert from office.

Totally. You know what? Oh, that guy's great. But you know, you know who's fucking. hilarious is the old lady, the secretary, when he's like, I need you here. He's like, I need you here all day.

She's like, absolutely, I'm in this office until three. And he's like, that's not what I'm talking. Yeah. And then there's a series, there's a series on Netflix that the producers of Stranger's things.

I heard that's great. What's that one? It's good. Yeah, I heard it's great. It's great. It's great. Oh, it's okay. I heard it's good.

But the trailer, I didn't like it. It's good. They're going to a old folks home? They're going to a wedding or something? That one? No. Oh, that's them.

That's them too. No, no. No, that one's terrible. Oh, okay. That one is terrible. The burrows. Bro, one. One episode of that now is out.

Which one? That one he's talking about is terrible. No, no, no, no. No, no. The one where they're going to a wedding. The wedding one he's going to happen or something. Yeah, it's so bad. That's terrible.

That one's bad. That one's bad. The burrows are get you right away you're in. All right. I'll try it. It's good. Oh, you know what one I started watching? Burroughs is good.

It's made by the creators of power. It's like this like, you know, on Netflix. It's an all black show. I'm out. Yeah. You know, I forgot what it's called. Yeah. Whatever it's called, but it's like a he's a cop and he's like investing, you know,

and then the other guys, the other guys like the robber. No, everybody's black. Oh. Are you talking about the NBA finals? Oh, my God. That's funny. That's funny. I forgot what it's called, man.

I forgot what the name of the Netflix show is called. Oh, it's a Netflix show? Yes, a Netflix show. But this is the thing that I think about is everybody's put together. Yeah. This is the thing about a black show. It's like everybody's haircut is lined up nice. Oh, that's so funny.

Like nobody, you know what I mean? Like, just everything is perfect. Do they not have scenes? With an end. It starts with an end. Do they have not scenes in the morning? Nemesis. Nemesis.

They don't have scenes in the morning where they're just waking up and shit? No, do it. They're just all fucking fresh faith. Yeah, everybody's fresh. Lined up. And the lighting is good. I mean, it's very like, yeah, here it is. Right.

That's the show, Nemesis. This is a power show? Yeah. No, no, it's the people that made it. But it's like, it's like, you know, cops and robbers type thing. And it's pretty good. I started to watch it and I was like, oh, shit, okay,

this is pretty good. Well, it's like number three or something. No, yeah, it's pretty good. Well, I don't see any representation for myself. No whites, huh? It's all behind the scene. That's where it is. Yeah, the whites are going.

Well, no, I'm sure they have. This is a weird guy. Who? That guy. He is an odd. Right? Well, that's why he's good, though. Yeah, yeah.

He's an odd dude. Oh, I'm going to give you guys some homework. You got to watch the documentary. It's on Hulu called Don't Go Upstairs. Okay, what is it? It's about a family and the two kids claim that the dad touched them, molested them, but there's no proof of it,

and the state gets involved and the kids don't want to see their dad so they literally lock themselves in the room and board it up so the state can't get to him. What's it called? Don't come up upstairs. It's called Nightmare upstairs. No, it's called it.

Don't go upstairs. Don't come upstairs. Maybe that's a different one. I just googled what he said. Oh, yeah. He found one. Nick has it on the screen. So it's a two-parter?

Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. You walk away. You'll walk away and like I watched my mother-in-law and my wifey and they're all, man, that guy's such a piece of shit. And he lost his kids, right? And I said, hold on, hold on.

Let's say these kids were bullshit. And the dad's been innocent this whole time. Then how do you feel? It fucked everybody up for the whole night. The next morning my mother-in-law was like, I can stop thinking about that dad. What you said? What if the kids were lying? Right?

That's where it gets weird. Yeah, I know. I mean, they made a documentary about it. So what are they asserting in this documentary? Like what is the... Again, I don't want to give it all the way. You guys, I'm telling you, you're going to watch it and have opinions on it. Because the kids lock themselves in there and they start live streaming and then the mom gets really famous on TikTok.

That's where you get. She starts getting endorsement deals. It's weird, dude. Anytime it comes to... It's weird. You know, they say the thing like... The kid's zesty. Yeah.

Anytime they, it comes to putting, you know, getting views. and I don't know, man. Deal with it on. Deal with it on your own. All you guys have young kids. And I'll tell my wife, so Boston's like one of the ages of the girl when she comes out and says, my dad touched me. She's six. And she's doing it after she sees her mom.

Then she's telling her therapist that the dad touched her. And she's like, the mom could easily tell a kid that and the kid sticks with it. I'm like, hold up. So if you tell Bosti something, maybe right when the cops interview him, he's going to stick to what you told him a week later you think bosti at six is going to be ride or die and carry that lie i don't think so well the lie becomes i don't think a six-year-old can continue that i think there's a point where they're going to say well so-and-so told me to like this you know to say this that's what i'm saying yeah i think it just comes out like that but i just i'm all again i'm always there's a bunch of stuff like that

you know because if you that's you got to watch it and you're going to have an opinion i'm telling you i don't know i understand but i already have an opinion because they made this yeah like So it's like, how did they make this? Right, right. You know what I mean? Yeah. Everything around that is when you're just kind of like, okay. Yeah, I know, I know.

Anything for, yeah, it's just. Because it's like right now, again, there's no, you know, I talk about this on stage right now. I'm Gen X, so I grew up without the internet, without a phone. So like, we got our bullshit from the three stations on TV. TV and when we went into the supermarket, Instagram was this magazine rack to our right. You know what I mean? And I could be like, oh, if I wanted to look, I could be like, okay, I don't want to check

that out. You just move past it. But now everybody's bullshit is right here. And there's no need for any proof. Like there's no proof or anything. You can just say whatever you want and then people just, and it sucks that so many people go, oh, well, that must be true. Well, yeah, I mean, because Bobby 7774 said it, so it must be true.

Yeah, well, coming from me, I mean, I've been on the other side. people make videos about me and like it's just like I know the truth it's just and it's like this is not this is it's completely not how they said it was you know I know and so so now it you know I mean this kind of stuff is

I know so now you but okay so let me finish here the assumption that we make is that we think well this company I'm said this company Hulu is not going to put out bullshit oh right Yeah, but that's the assumption. No, yeah, but it's not. So everybody goes, whoa, then they say this kind of stuff.

Well, Hulup wouldn't put out anything that would be wrong. It's like, okay. They don't care. They don't care. No. You know, so now that's where we're at right now. Yeah. So we're at a point now where it's like, because before I would say, say 30 years ago, a

documentary was coming out. Yeah. We would be like, oh, wow. But also there was, what do you call it? There was, you know, it's gotten worse. Yes. You know, like, I mean, you know, being a, being a journalist used to be Oh, yeah, yeah.

Something that, you know, you didn't even necessarily go. It wasn't something, I'll put it this way. It wasn't something like people wanted to do to make money, and it wasn't a rich person thing to do. You can go to school to a really great Ivy League and fucking become this, you know, well, awarded and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and journalism used to be guy who fucking would go into the street and he was among the people that were getting fucked yeah do you know I'm saying and

now it's not now it's you know yeah but this person came from Yale I know but it turns out that even if you look back that they've been bullshitting from the junk right well you know Walter Cronkriek and Dan and Dan Rather and all these kind of people, it turns out they had it a political agenda even back then. Yeah. But we weren't. What do we know? Yeah. What do we know? What do we know? But now it's just kind of like, man, you can just take a story, sensationalize it, make a documentary about it. And then you assert like, oh, well, we think the dad's guilty. Let's say that's the thing. And now the dad's guilty. Okay. Regardless. You know, if that's what they want. Yeah. You know what I mean? I mean, do. I talk to Army Hammer and he's like, oh, I don't even know one of those people. And they made a thing on Paramount about it. He's like, I don't even know one of the people.

So that's, and that's that's paramount. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, it's like, I guess there's no integrity in anything. I mean, and I think when you have a big cup like that, they're so rich. They're like, yeah, we can afford this lawsuit. Well, it's, you know, and it's not even that. It's, you know, you can make a, you can make a thing saying, they're just saying, oh, we're just filming what this person is saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're not saying it happened. Yeah. You know, but that doesn't matter. At that point, it's too late. Speaking of stuff people are saying happen, isn't it crazy how Chelsea Handler is coming out acting like, you know. What? Oh, she ain't shit. Did that something?

I don't really know about it. Oh, well, she came out after the roast now. I saw something about Donnell. No, not Donnell. She's like, you know, Shane Gillis is racist and sexes and Tony Hinchcliffe is racist. And they're saying other stuff about them. And it's just like, I'm like, man, you almost have to like before you do a roast now, they should make everybody sign like some sort of NDA or something or like, okay, if you agree

to do this, you agree that like this is what happens. And then we're going to move on afterwards. Yeah, you know what it is. Yeah. You have to make it agree. like you can't talk about this for a year or something because then no one's going to care in a year. Right. But like to come out of, to do the roast and then to come out of it and be like, but Shane Gillis had a great response.

I saw that. That was good. That's a great response. You know, it's like, yeah, his is great. Yeah, she's having a moment. We're pulling for her. Oh, by the way, I'll be at the football stadium. Yeah.

I thought that was great. That's great. Because I think that he, he diffused it in a great way because ultimately nobody cares. Right. Right. dude but what's it called Andy Haines you know Andy Andy Haines the comedian he put out this video dude it made me laugh

it was if you look him up on Instagram it was like he was talking about how fans of the yeah wait hold on it's the one oh it's the one oh it's the one where he's smiling right there roast comedy fans be like this guy's funny this shit made me laugh watch I haven't seen it you got to watch the beginning yeah I watch the beginning though can I hear it or no yeah you will be able you will hold on Oh, you will.

There's too many goddamn values. Too many volumes. Yeah. It's annoying how that happens, dude. Make it so it starts. That's fine, just getting all heated. I can't hear it. You guys just tell me what he's saying.

Yes, dude. That guy's mom died of cancer. Woo! We go. Come on gay. Bat and gay. Make fun of the fact that she got sexually assaulted.

Yes, dude. You're just getting to be anorexican. You just made from the Mexicans. We're back. That's the best writing I've ever heard.

Let's go. My life sucks. And so... Your life has to suck too. Call him a bag. Say the N-word. Say the N-word. Say the N-word.

Dude, he goes, say the N-Ward. And he goes, let's go. Dude, that shit makes me laugh, bro. Yeah, it's, I think that all this kind of stuff, though, is going to... I mean, dude, it's going to kill the roast.

It's going to kill it. What do you mean? Yeah, I think the roasts have had their time. At a certain point, but I think that, but what was great about the roast is it brings back this, like, it's anti-cancel culture. But you can't, like, after, you can't after the roast now make it cancel culture, because that's what all this stuff is. No, I mean, look, look, dude, I think it sucks. I agree when you go on a roast, it's like, do. this is still funny

I mean I don't I get it but it's still yeah in the vein of like I understand you know what I mean you assume he's liberal

and he's yeah I understand but it's still funny yeah but yes I the

you know look I think I don't watch roast it's just you know that's not your sensibility yeah

and but it is just people yeah dude when he says that's the best writing I've ever that's so funny dude

speaking of being canceled I cut a clip from last week's episode that was I thought was really it was banged I used it for the cold open too and Eric was like I don't know about this one I didn't understand why you said you didn't know about that one it's because sometimes this is just my thing

sometimes when you take like a part of a conversation out of context and then it's just that I understand that that kind of then it becomes like a thing where it's like oh Eric doesn't like like Numbies. Eric doesn't like Numbies.

My thought was the best thing that would happen for this show is if we got canceled, someone clipped that. Right. Maybe I miss, maybe I didn't understand it or something. You know, I get that.

It's my own thing. I was hoping for some Brendan or Krisby, like it's fine, but we just, I thought it was. I think I did say that. I didn't even watch it. I didn't even watch it.

There we go. Brendan's involved. I'm sorry, Nick. You were funny in it. You were like, sounds like a white girl. Was she white? Was she white?

Yeah, yeah. Forget what it was. About the cleaning lady. Oh, yeah, I thought that was tame, bro. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I thought that was tame. Brenna has no idea.

I thought that was tame. I looked at it. I go, what the hell is Eric talking about? I didn't write, huh? No, you didn't. Uh-huh. You don't get involved. Yeah, but.

But I totally get that about, like, if it's the worst part of whatever, and you clip it and highlight it. Of course. Yeah, leave it in the episode, maybe. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Sometimes it's like, you know, you pull something and it's like a particular thing,

and then they think that's all you're talking about is that thing, then it becomes like, oh. I did a podcast, I think it was my podcast a long time ago, and I was talking about how this one hotel had white cleaning ladies. And I made a joke where I was like, all right, where are the real cleaning ladies? And people got really mad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm fine.

No, no, this is a kind of thing that I think. chin on the phone or something? Yeah. What the fuck is chin doing? Is he having a family reunion right now? I was trying to mute him, but I was worried we missed Brendan, but I just texted him. We can have. No, we have internet guys coming.

Oh. You guys keep pausing and freezing. And then yesterday our audio went down. It's a shit show. That's great. That's fantastic, dude. Complete shit show. Oh, that's fantastic.

It's awesome. Uh, uh, It is what it is, dude, you know. Well, you know, you could, uh... That face. That face. Oh my God. Yeah, but I'm going to work out chest today.

Oh, my God. Hey, Brennan. I'm down 15, by the way. Oh, really? Yeah. Nice. Hey, Brennan, do you, do you do... That's insane that you can do. I was watching the Combine stuff.

and how they do the 225 and how they just keep going and it'll do like 50 that's insane you do what like 30 or something um yeah i'll do between 30 and 40 that's just crazy 30 39's the high in the last few weeks that is 2225 that's so crazy 25 sir that's so crazy dude i can do it how much do you wait three times um 1.95. That's basically like your lane like this. And Brandon is just doing like this. But what's more than me though? I know, but do it like 50 times he's just holding you up.

That's, you know, what's the point of that? But it's crazy. When are you going to use that? It's crazy he can do it because, well, it's just how he is. But like, but the football guys, they just fucking, I know. That's how he is, though. He's like those football guys. He's fucking 42, three years old.

Yeah, those professional athletes are like, I don't think people. people even understand how athletic and strong and fast these people are because when we see them we see them in comparison to other athletes like that but we don't realize that this guy if he was around regular people like those offensive linemen are probably the strongest fast as people look the guy in the chair the cuck in the chair freaks he's judging no he's judging i know he's I know. I know. The 49 times.

But I'll tell you who doesn't understand is, is little league parents. Of course. Of course. We have no clue of the monsters that are out there waiting for their kids. Of course. Jesus Christ. Of course not. Look this dude.

It's like maybe somebody's in a parking lot and like something falls on someone. 75 times. Yeah. And they're like this. No. But then they're like, oh my God. This thing weighs 225 pounds. Can anyone help us?

And then Brendan hears that. And he's like, I'm ready. Let me get under it. Let me get under it and get ready. It's like, God, damn. But I also think they should, I also think they should switch to 315 if you're over 250.

Dude, I tell you what. Like the linemen, like the DB's doing 225, the receivers, the quarterbacks. But some of these linemen are like 350, 360. Who gives a fuck? Yeah, but their arms aren't that much bigger than. Arm's. You got it? Did you get it?

arms and chest have a certain that's the record so man I I mean maybe I could do that four times that's crazy I know but you and Brendan no I know we're way different bodies but no but I think that

what I'm saying is like this is some freaking nature shit because you're not I know because I'm saying it's not like you're skinny no no no no right right right right right when you're standing next to Brennan you guys look the same size and then he's made with clothes He's just tremendously outperforming you.

I mean, how does that make you feel? Yeah, you know what? It doesn't, honestly, if I'm honest, it doesn't make me feel anything because that's not my thing. You know what I mean? Being strong. Yeah. It's not your thing. No, it's not.

Like, my thing is. Being able to handle yourself? That's not your thing. But that's not being able to handle yourself. Being able to hand yourself is like if your house is on fire, what do you do? And I'm fucked. Yeah. I get you.

But like, but, but, but, uh, yeah. I just want to. See like if somebody's messing with you, do you grab them, Brendan? Somebody's messing. You go like this, you go, hey, what is your freaking problem? But that's the whole, but although that does. You get them, you go, hey, well, you know what, brother? I can do this 39 fucking times, bro.

39 times, bro. Bro. Bro. The guy's like, oh, my God, you're so strong. Please. It's been 12 already. I'm exhausted. Yeah, I don't know.

I, you know, although strength does have a lot to do with fighting, it's like you're talking about two different things also. Well, yeah, no, of course. That's what I'm saying, though. It's like, if you're doing this, the force that's probably coming with a punch is probably crazy. Like, that guy right there, he probably punched somebody. He could probably hit, tear someone's head off, right?

Eric doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. I do. Brandon, tell him. No. There's no fighting. Brennan could fuck any of those guys up. I know. What's what I'm saying, though, but I'm saying is like,

look, a punch and a this. It's, you know, it's the same. This is just so out of control. You're out of control. Isn't it the same motion? Boom, boom. Here's a punch. That's why when two guys come out of you, the move is this.

Yeah. But he could because he could do it 30 times. Like, he's the only one that can go like this. So you could fight 60 people in a row. Yeah. Yeah, like 30 guys would line up. Yeah, two, you get away from his friends. And then Brendan would go like this.

All right, go. Cool. Oh, man. I don't like any of this. I'll tell you who's not impressed with it is chicks. I'll show my wife. Oh, they don't give a fuck. That's crazy, dude.

Look, it's really for dudes. I tell my wife, I'm like, huh? Wait, wait, and it's only for dudes that have tried it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's true. You know what I mean? That's true.

Like, it's only even dudes that are like, you get on a bench press and just, you just have two 45s on it and you're like, you know what? You know what? That's crazy. And then you see this and you're like, How?

They say like, they say like 1% of dudes can bench 225. Just once. Just once? Which is mind blowing to me. Well, that's my blowing to you. It's not mind blowing to me because that shit is fucking heavy.

Yeah. And I, like I said, maybe I could do it four times. But, but I work out fucking, I've all my life. It's more than your body weight.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, but then a lot of guys are fucking 250. So they should be able to do it. But still, that's still a lot.

I didn't see this. More than 90. percent of your body weight you're lifting oh this this is bad i didn't see this this is bad this is hilarious see this is why but this is why don't get this is why this is why this is why this is why this is why this is why you get hurt no i say jay can be killed yep i didn't watch this yet i i have not seen this yet but i i saw the clips i've seen this i thought this was better than the mvp card it was people it was that card we showed you last yeah right right right right right show me this again oh right right right But the fights were great.

Like people who didn't know how to fight doing MMA. It was kind of... Interesting? Yeah. Like Johnny Menzel whoop this guy's ass. It was Bob Mennery. Yeah, I saw him talking about it. He looked like he was coked out when he came up. Johnny Mansell is still an athlete.

Yeah, I know, that's the thing. Bob Menry, who is obviously he's got a tough, he's a tough guy, but... Is there a better angle? Wow, that looks terrible. Just those punches? Oh, there's a better angle. Sexy.

And then after that happened, he said something like... He was like, it's rigged. Yeah, he was like, that wasn't part of our plan or whatever. And now, like, the promotion put out like... Yeah, like it was staged. Oh, Ray J said that? Yeah, yeah. Oh, Ray J's crazy, though.

Yeah. No, nobody... Um... Yeah, I don't... This is weird that people want to do this. It happened quick, too, right? Yeah, 20 seconds or something. I would not want to do this.

I just, there's nothing in me that wants to do this. Oh, that's it. No, it don't look good. Oh, God, he immediately looks 50 when that happens. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's like... Anytime you get hit you go one of these moves? Here we go, there we go.

It's like his brain stopped. Let's see. Oh, oh. Oh, my. Oh, wow. The guy knew, too. He didn't even hit him again. He was like, I know what's up.

Oh, that sucks. Look at this. Fucking, right here. Right here. It goes, ding. When I wake up in the morning And I'm hitting it one of the morning That's fucking crazy

The eyes, boom He's like seizing, he spits Yeah, he's terrible He hit him but one of these Yeah, I don't get it He's so old, why is he doing it? Like, is A.J. Hurting for money?

R.J. Is Ray J. Hurting for money? Maybe. AJ, he said. I don't know. I don't know. This is like a thing, you know? Ray J is just one of those guys That, he's just one of those guys

that will say anything. I mean, they're like, are you gay? And he's like, hey, I say. saying shit and you're like bro that's well he's still this is what this was this was the main man by menary look at the way oh my god so this was interesting we got that name i mean only because yeah no no you you yeah yeah it more than the MVP like I rather watch people who don't have never done it rather than washed up people well you can you know let me hold on you say for the

entertainment factor yeah yeah entertainment it's obviously not quality mMA but this is like a real fight. That's what I like about it. But Nick, but Nick, you wouldn't rather watch, you wouldn't watch, you wouldn't rather watch this than Francis and Gano. Definitely not. Right? No, no, no. That's not what you're saying. But you're saying Gina and Rhonda and Nate and Mike Perez. Yes. Yes. So he's, is this how he wins? Is this how he wins right here? You're going to end it all, Brandon? So this was quick, so this was quick too. Yeah. And then Bob was saying that this early stop it. He didn't want him to stop it. Yeah, but you have to stop it's hilarious to do a move after that. Yeah, do a move, especially with that body.

It's interesting to see these two guys who are in, you know, fine shape for their age. But the difference between the athletes that do this and them. It's crazy. Oh, it just doesn't look. Yeah, it's like that one fight for the UFC fight. But these guys aren't out. The championship fight, when they were, like, grappling with each other,

you could just feel the, you could feel the power being like. And they're not, they're not out of shape. You see them out. You're like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But they're not in shape, Chris. Right, but I guess that's... They both have tummies.

But what I'm saying is this is where you notice that. They don't look like athletes. No, no, no, no, no, of course not. You know what this looks like? This looks like they all work at like a company. And this is like the Christmas retreat. Totally. You know what I'm saying?

And they're like, okay, this is what we're going to do. We're going to MMA fight accounting versus... Right, right, right, right. HR, get out there. HR, get out there. And that's what just looks like. Like, should be. They're in those sumo suits.

Right, right, right. Yeah, totally. But so now, but the other guy is an athlete, right? The Johnny guy, he was a football player, right? Yeah. Johnny Mansell was one of the best college athletes of all time. And these are two former NBA players. Oh, well, he's sprawling out there.

Well, yeah, he had to like let it go. Oh, that's what's his face? They used to the guy. Lance Stevenson. Yeah, he used to give LeBron James trouble. That's funny. That guy's a troublemaker. He's still giving people.

Well, now he's fighting on fucking a streaming platform. Which, by the way, you can just dist away, Brandon. The contempt in Brendan's voice. But also, those guys signed like a, oh, it's terrible. Those guys signed like a $150 million deal, too, in the NBA. And now they're doing this. That's what sad. Well, okay.

All right. Now I get this. Tell it why it's terrible. Wait, wait, wait. Let me. Okay, and then tell why it's terrible. Yeah, but this would be like as if, you know, so Brendan represents the UFC.

He's fighting, fought in UFC, he talks about the UFC, just at the highest level, and he wants to see that. But this would equivalent to be like, if like you had some weird basketball league or you know what I mean those TikTok clips that go viral they're like so what's your name oh and they're a full audience you're like what the fuck can I sell tickets no no or Eric and Chris this is like me doing stand-up you know what I'm saying it's like me jumping over and doing stand-down this is what I said the first time I ever saw you do it's not high

level but I'm selling tickets yeah I know I know I know but I'm selling tickets I'm making money you know what I'm saying but that's what they're trying to do you guys are going whoa whoa we've been I know you guys are going whoa we've been doing in this 20 years you come in you're making money yeah it's like what the fuck are we doing but there has to be some I think that there has to be some integrity in the fucking but I mean it's like you know people why though people like see him fighting I mean it's just weird there's these guys are like pseudo famous you show you you go to watch a train wreck yeah and and the thing about that I think is like the the either the the women who do stand up that are doing it and they're hot

and guys are going because they're simps and they're out there and they're still just like, so, and they're doing first draft material that isn't, nobody ever told this woman she was funny.

You know what I mean? And they're just like, yeah, but this is like, I just feel like, that's what this is though. I know, but it's like if you're trying to,

I think that this is a, this is very layered, very nuanced, because the UFC is trying to be a contender with the big boys, you know, NFL, NFL, NHL, NBA, be one of those sports that people go, wow, this becomes an event.

And it's hard to do that when you have something like this that gets so much attention and it dilutes the sport. But Eric, but Eric, but Eric, to your point, to your point, Dana was at this event. It was at the UFC apex. The head matchmaker of the UFC's at the event. Sean Strickland's at the event. Armand Sarukin's at the event.

So it's blur in the line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It would be like if Chris Rock went to one of those. On U.S. Viral TikTok clips. Yeah. Chris Rock is sitting there. I know, but then I guess maybe they're trying to.

Yeah, but I guess like it's not even equivalent to like the UF the UFL because stupid. I can do a lot of other guys. I don't know the specific trend you're talking. I'm saying. Yeah, the TikTok. The TikTok, where people go on TikTok, they have no business doing stand-up comedy. They're the, they put on a dress because they're, they're, they're, they're, they put on a dress

because they're pretty and they go out there and they go so they don't have material and they do crowd work and they say shit like I'm this is my

I'm gonna be doing a new hour and you're like there's only a new hour you never done shit that is the equivalent of this except for at least this these guys have done

something in their lives they're not just well no but they're accomplished no because the fucking basketball players? No, but this is like when Dustin Diamond was doing stand-up.

Right, yeah, yes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Dustin Diamond doing stand-up was basically just a pretty woman, a pretty woman, putting a dress on, saying, here's my new hour. When they never, sorry. No, no, go ahead. It was more like Dustin Diamond boxing.

Yeah, he did both of those fucking things. God, rest of soul. Is that screech? Yeah. Okay. Um, is he, he died, right? Yeah, yeah. Trouble.

RIP. Trouble. Trouble. Trouble. But so I'm just saying it's like, I don't know, like, you know, the thing, what is the thing that makes professional sports what it is? And I don't, I think it's something that people don't really think about, but what it is is integrity. Well, no, no, listen. You know, I'm not going to disagree with you.

Without integrity, the sport does not exist. Like, you have to believe, that's why they, they, they, they, they publish. They publicize drug testing. They publicize it because they want to make you believe, hey, we're making sure these guys are on the up and up. That's all about integrity. Gambling on the sport. They come down really harshly on that.

It's about because that's about integrity. You've got to watch. You've got to watch. Without that, then it's that shit. You know the untold things on Netflix that they do? Oh, right. The untold. I never seen one.

but I watched the one new one about chess bro this is exactly what you're talking about and it's what you were talking about too there are two in that don't go upstairs thing there are two guys Magnus whatever the best chess player in the world Carlson okay this dude never

loses this kid comes through and beats him twice and Magnus Carlson is like he cheated and everyone's like well how the fuck do you know how do you cheat during chess Yeah. Right? And he's like, I just know I was playing somebody who was taking cues or whatever.

And then they go back into this kid. This kid's like, now he's like 20 fucking five. I mean, he was young, you know. And they were like, they go back. They found that online years ago, Chess.com, the kid was showing signs of the fact that he was cheating. But this was when he was 16. So he's like, yeah, I cheated when I was 16. But I didn't cheat.

How am I cheating? I'm there with the. board. Yeah. And Magnus Carlson, like, trust me, he's cheating. Max Carson, he's the number one chess player of all the time. He is the, it's like LeBron or, you know, Michael Geron. So, so everyone's like, oh, if he says he's cheating, this whole thing is like, wow.

You don't know by the end. You're like, who's cheating? You don't know by the end. No, no, no, but the, the thing. You don't know if he's seen or. Well, but if the kid was caught, but if the kid was caught cheating before, it clearly when he was 12, he was 12 to 16. No, no, but here's the thing.

It's a little different. I think the question I have is... The question I have is, how do you cheat in chess? Well, if you're online, you can cheat easy. Right, so did, okay. You know what, you know what? You know what happened? You know what happened?

Somebody, like fucking Sam Tripoli was like he's got anal beads telling him what to do. And it became a whole thing. Anal beads. And they were like, well, somebody's, you know, he's communicating with anal beads. And now this kid, he's 25, can't go anywhere without people to be.

being like, hey, anal beads guy. Oh, no. Yeah. It's like Richard Gear into gerbil. Well, but even worse, because the internet exists. Yeah. It'd be like Richard Gear, 2006. Yeah.

Anilbeet, like, how? Someone's watching. Yeah. Looking it up and then like, somehow. Big fan of atlebees and chest. Nick, Nick knows. I got it. This is how it works.

Nick's our anal. Nick's our anal. We're going to have an anal beat sponsor after this. No, so, so this kid will go like this. Hmm. And it'll go like this. And then it'll be going. and he goes

like this he goes ah yeah at what point is he just holding at what point is he just holding it like this

and he's going oh shit pants so wet fuck yeah brand buzzes me when I should pull something but I guess oh fuck yeah

I guess they're not testing for things now they're going to have to like do like a prison thing now where you have to like bend over and cough before you do chess but then yeah

anyway You should watch it. It's really interesting. It's about chess. I know, but in the end, what was the conclusion? The conclusion, the conclusion was that they did a 73-page investigation. The conclusion was that the kid did not cheat and beat Magnus twice. And then they have a rematch.

And Magnus just fucking slaughters him. Well, because the kid was probably under pressure at that point. Yeah, that's what the kid is. said. Yeah, he's like, I don't even Or he was cheating and didn't have the help. He didn't, or he's no, that is true. No needle beads. I would, I would fucking.
